As far as I know the local elections planned for May are still going ahead. Who knows what tier Eastleigh will be in by then but if you’d like to plan ahead and apply for a postal vote, here are the details:
I’ve just checked and they confirmed that they can also send you a form if you don’t have a printer. Just email them and ask.
Great point - one little email to [email protected] with your address can save your effort later going out to the voting office.
I’ve been postal voting for about 10 years now since back before it became hip and trendy Sometimes i still take the walk to the polling station and soak up some atmosphere… when I’ve forgotten to post the voting form back!
I’ve always preferred voting in person for the atmosphere, which admittedly doesn’t make much sense! I’ll definitely be applying for a postal vote this time though.
It’s a pity they haven’t managed to get postal vote applications on line yet but they were very helpful when I emailed.
It’s nice to see all walks of life on the way there and chatting with people you’ve never spoken to before. Somehow people seem friendlier that day, no matter who they vote for. I like that!
